For foreign nationals searching out approaches to do religious and charitable work in Canada, The Religious and Charitable Work visa is the perfect decision. So as to meet all requirements for this category, applicant need to have relevant experience and important abilities/skills for the position they are applying for. This visa allows foreign nationals to work in Canada just on a temporary basis.

The applying candidates need to meet following requirements in order to get their visa approved:

  Work for which an individual has applied for the visa must be religious or charitable in nature such as work that relieves poverty or benefits the community through education and religion.

  The sponsoring organization or institution will not receive any money for the work done by the candidate.

  The work performed should extend beyond normal work as per Labor Market Impact Assessment.

In addition to these prerequisites, foreign nationals anticipating work in Canada as clergy who preaches doctrine, presides at liturgical functions or provides spiritual counseling as ordained minister or layman; or as a member of religious order may also enter Canada through this visa.

An unremunerated foreign national can be fee exempt. In order to qualify for that, the candidate must not be getting any money other than stipend for living expenses, which too should be below prevailing minimum wage level.

On Religious and Charitable Work visa, candidates are allowed to live and work in Canada for a particular timeframe, depending on the nature of duties and employment prerequisites. The visa might be granted from 1 to 37 months. After this period, if the applicant want to continue to work in Canada, at that point they can apply for visa extension.

On the Religious and Charitable visa, foreign nationals can also bring their dependent family members to Canada. In certain cases, dependent family members are also allowed to work and study in Canada.
